(Credit: Apple) If you were still wondering whether the iPhone had made a significant mark on society, news that London's Kensington and Chelsea College has a course offering students the ability to learn iPhoneography (the art of taking photographs with your iPhone) should be enough to answer the question. The new evening course will be entirely devoted to teaching students how to snap photographs on their iPhones, send them to various post-production processing apps, and create stunning pictures, according to a report by the BBC . Richard Gray, the instructor for the course, claims that, "with the right apps and skills, the iPhone can be a powerful creative tool." I couldn't agree more. The old adage rings truest here: "the best camera is the one you have with you." Can you remember the last time you went somewhere without your iPhone

Cape Town based startup, Quicket , has entered into the online ticketing market to provide individuals and companies with an easy to use platform that makes it possible for them to manage their own ticketing for an event as well as providing them with a database of all attendees. All of this, Quicket claims, will cost less than booking with dominant ticketing company, Computicket and aims to generate substantial competition for the likes of Webtickets, Tixsa and Ticket Break. The self-funded Quicket, that launched on 1st September 2011, was founded by four friends Tim Church, James Tag, Michael Kennedy and James Hedley and was originally intended to be an accommodation booking site. The guys noticed that planning a group weekend away usually results in one person taking responsibility for it including the payment which can be challenging.

On a recent business trip, I bought my daughter a toy microscope, and while playing with it (such toys are never exclusively for the kids, you know), I decided to look at the MacBook Air’s screen through it. While I always intellectually knew how red, green, and blue elements make up an individual pixel, I’d never actually seen these sub-pixels before. I managed to get a (crappy) picture of it (below). As you can see, each individual pixel is made up of three tic-tac shaped sub-pixels arranged horizontally next to each other; one red, one green, and one blue. By varying the intensity of each sub-pixel, any color (that the system is capable of displaying) can be represented
